Fashion From the Floor Up: WCFW Launch Party

As you can see we are experiencing what I like to call "sprinter," which is spring disguised as winter. Even though it's the end of March, we still have snow on the ground and it's just. Not. Fair. I was freezing in this light orange coat! But anyways, instead of complaining more about the weather I'm going to talk about Fashion From the Floor Up, an evening of style and design put on by Western Canada Fashion Week and Absolute Hardwood Flooring to launch Fashion Week which starts on Thursday! The party was held Friday night at Phabrik Art & Design Center - the perfect venue for an event like this. The stylish crowd sipped cocktails, ate delicious hors d'oeuvres and watched a unique design competition while a DJ spun beats in the background.

From left to right - first, second and third place designs by Ravi Gill who made his McQueen-esque dress out of paper, Derek Jagodzinsky, who designed his elegant dress with garbage bags and Rebecka Pichoch who used shelf lining and redwood for her creation. They were all so unique!

I am so excited for another season of Western Canada Fashion Week and can't wait to see what this season has in store! To see the full calendar and which designers will be showing this season click here. Hope you had a great weekend!

Awww this looks like so much fun! I'm sad I missed out, but I'm getting excited for next week!Your hair looks so amazing here, and that orange jacket is perfect with this black and white blouse. Your brave to be posing in this sprinter weather!xJennaD

Love your tangerine coat! It looks great with the black and white base. Albert winters are for sure hard to get thru! I lived there for most of my life. Good luck to you and I'll pray the snow will melt soon!
